“There is thus a will to live without rejecting anything of life, which is the virtue I honor most in this world.”
― Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays

“I was learning the secrets of life: that you could become the woman you’d dared to dream of being, but to do so you were going to have to fall in love with your own crazy, ruined self.”
― Anne Lamott, Small Victories: Spotting Improbable Moments of Grace

“Forgiveness and mercy mean that, bit by bit, you begin to outshine the resentment.”
― Anne Lamott, Hallelujah Anyway: Rediscovering Mercy

“Mercy is radical kindness. Mercy means offering or being offered aid in desperate straits. Mercy is not deserved. It involves absolving the unabsolvable, forgiving the unforgivable. Mercy brings us to the miracle of apology, given and accepted, to unashamed humility when we have erred or forgotten.”
